Recent Graduates

Duquesne University has an excellent reputation for providing research opportunities for undergraduate students. As early as freshman year, students are encouraged to join a laboratory and engage in research conducted by professors in the Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences. These experiences not only enrich their education but also guide their futures as they progress into careers after graduating from Duquesne. Our graduates have gone on to complete M.D. and Ph.D. programs at prestigious institutions including Princeton, Harvard, Boston College, Yale, University of Pittsburgh Medical School, Northwestern University, Penn State University, and Temple School of Medicine. In addition to graduate studies, our students also go on to pursue successful careers at various companies such as PPG, Valspar, Mylan, and Covestro.

As part of their degree, undergraduates in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry prepare a capstone project to summarize the research they have conducted during their time at Duquesne. Students conducting research have opportunities to publish papers and travel to various conferences, including the National Americal Chemical Society (ACS) meeting, spring of their junior year. The theses of our 2017 graduates are listed below. Many of our students receive funding toward tuition, travel, and research supplies through the Crable Endowment. These fellowships are awarded based on academic accomplishment. Crable scholars are indicated below with an asterisk*.
